The Summer of Gemini

The last few months were not the best, you’ll have to admit but things will turn around. Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet, will go on Retrograde in Gemini and reach the Direct Station on June 22nd. The last time this happened was in May 2015. Gemini, this month the stars and planets will align for you so be on the look out for positivity and growth in the following weeks: the universe is on your side. The key this month is to take chances and step out of your comfort zone, you will find happiness places you never expected. Mercury will be your safety net. Your skin will clear out, your new favourite song will come out and your favourite show will be renewed for another season.

Career

Your career will take a turn for the better this summer. An opportunity to prove yourself at work will present itself. If you jump on it, you will get a chance to impress your superiors and grow in your workplace. You’ve always felt a little bit like a fraud, but it’s time to trust yourself and to speak up. You deserve recognition for your efforts, and you will get it if you raise your voice a bit and share your ideas and initiatives. This month be a team player: your relationship with your coworkers will benefit you all.

With your career growing this month, so will your finances. You will make more than you ever have before and will be torn between two things: take your lifestyle up a notch or shove it all in a savings account. With this new income, you will find yourself making plans: save for a trip, a house, a car... but you also really want that new pair of roller skates. You’ll get to have it all don’t worry about it. Readjust your saving goals to your new income but allow yourself to keep some of that hard earn money for your present self.

Relationships

Your love life might have been a little rocky in the past, but your significant other will do something very special for you this month. Keep your eyes open for thoughtful little attentions like bringing you your favourite Starbucks drink, but also for bigger surprises. An old friend who you never considered might even reveal a crush. You never thought they were your type, but if you give them a chance, they will surprise you. You’re the caring type, but you might have a bad habit of protecting yourself by keeping your feelings quiet. This month is your chance to take that leap of faith and speak from your heart, your relationship and love life will only gain from it.

Your friendships have always been important to you. Some of your friends might move away but don’t be discouraged, they are not leaving you and will make time for you if you do as much. New friendships will spark and as much as you want to give it your all, don’t forget to make time to nurture your oldest relationships. This summer, people who hurt in the past you will try to redeem themselves. Some of them will be worth a second chance, but others won’t. Be careful when trying to tell them apart. Trust that you knew exactly what you did back when you decided to end the toxic friendship.

Your self-love

With everything suddenly going so well around you, you will begin to wonder, if you could still be happy without all these outside factors. Who are you outside of your job, your friends, and your relationship? Take time to appreciate the quiet and to be alone with yourself. Make time to take care of your self and to be okay with yourself and satisfied with all the little things you do for you. Appreciate the cold brew and iced coffee on the porch, the exfoliating masks and binging of bad tv shows, and acknowledge that if you had nothing, you would still have everything because your worth comes from within. This month unlearn your patterns of self-loathing and your self-doubt. This will allow you to appreciate all the good things Gemini season has in store for you.
